           G                                           C
I'm going down into the greyhound station gonna get a ticket to ride
       G                                         D
Gonna find that Lady with two or three kids sit down by her side.
 G                                            C
Ride 'til the sun  comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
         G   
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat 
  D                                                   G
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet get along with all 
            C
Where the people say "y'all"
        G
Sing a song with a friend 
             D
Change the shape that I'm in
         G                        C
And get back in the game, start playin' again



I'd like to stay but I might have to go to start over again

Might go back down to Texas, might go to somewhere that I've never been

And get up in the mornin' and go out at night and I won't have to go home

Get used to bein' alone 

Change the words to this song

Start singing again


Instrumental


I'm tired of runnin' 'round lookin' for answers to questions that I already know
I could build me a castle of memories just to have somewhere to go 
Count the days and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle again
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again, when I know what to say 

I'm goin' down to the Greyhound Station, gonna get a ticket to ride
Gonna [A] find that lady with two or three kids and sit down by her side 
Ride 'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout two or three times
Smokin' cigarettes in the last seat
Tryin' to hide my sorrow from the people I meet and get along with it all
Go down where the people say "y'all"
Feed the pigeons some clay
Turn the night into day
Start talkin' again
When I know what to say
